Garden Tale Coming Soon – What is a Bonion?

Our next title already has its coming soon page up, but we want to take the moment to introduce it properly today.

Garden Tale

Garden Tale is a Strategy-RPG game where you defend the Garden Kingdom from the invasion of the Zoo Empire.
The Garden Kingdom, a land filled with beautiful gardens. One day, the long-undisturbed peace was to be broken, when a certain incident occurred. Zoolians, beasts from the neighboring Zoo Empire launched an attack on Garden. You and your friends are the first to react to the crisis as people’s lives are attacked and threatened.

Build and command a party, each with a unique skill set, to counter the coming attack. The game features a turn-based system based on a grid. Move your units around and take your foes out before they can overthrow you.
But Garden Tale boasts a unique feature that adds to the gameplay. Bonions!

What is a Bonion?

Bonions are onion-like plants you will find spread across the map. They originally come from the Garden Kingdom, and are grown for food. However, when under attack, they can also double as a weapon.
Deplete a Bonion’s HP to 0 and it will explode, causing damage to all those around it. Use this to your advantage in battle as you lure enemies into explosive traps.
There are different types of Bonion’s in Garden Tale, each with their own pattern of explosions. Catching another Bonion in an explosion will cause it to explode too. Use this to create a chain of explosions around the map in a deadly strategy.
However, these explosions will affect you too, get too careless and you may find yourself defeating your own allies.
